DIY Victorian Fixer-Upper on 0.79 Acres. $49,900

Posted on May 16, 2025May 16, 2025 by Adorable Living Spaces

Travel back in time and into potential with this classic 1918 Victorian home on 510 North McLeansboro Street in Benton, Illinois, nestled on 0.79 acres and offering 1,890 square feet of charm and character on just under an acre. The house features four spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a footprint full of vintage soul, waiting for dreamers, investors, and historic enthusiasts to restore it into something special. The original layout of the home includes soaring ceilings, a spacious 27×17 ft. kitchen, and a 25×13 ft. living room anchored by a fireplace. Upstairs, three bedrooms await, including a huge 23×13 ft. primary suite graced with natural light. Downstairs, a fourth bedroom offers flexibility for guests or an office. It’s important to note that the house has been vacant since last fall, utilities are currently off, and the basement has been water-damaged. It is sold as-is for an alluring price, but patience will be key for anyone interested in the offer. With some updates and vision, this home could become a real showstopper. The wraparound potential is already there, from vintage windows and tall ceilings to the oversized rooms and solid foundation. If you are ready to take on this rewarding project, schedule a private showing today and start the beginning of your grand restoration story. 

Price $49,900.
